Do you remember your sixteenth birthday?
Most people do;
for the rest of their lives.
I wanted this birthday to be
special for the girls.
Special enough, that I subjected myself
to the excruciatingly painful
used-car buying process.
I did what I could,
with what I had (borrowed).
I knew they would be pleased
with anything on four wheels.
and they were.
It was a VERY
good day.
P.S. The girls were super surprised,
as their birthday is still a few weeks away.
(Seriously - where do you hide a minivan?)
Also, they have always shared everything,
from the womb to the bath water.
They don't mind sharing a car.
2002 Ford Windstar 89K miles.

You have got to be the best Mom in the world!
Happy early birthday to your lovely daughters. I'm so excited for them!
Wow! Score on the car! Congratulations and happy birthday to them!
(I won't be allowing my twins to read this post, as they are not to be expecting a car on their 16th birthday..._)
I've still got three years to go! Keep it quiet, but I already drive. It must come with being a farm girl, right?
Wow....How cool is that!
oh my goodness, that's awesome! you rock!!!
They are such wonderful girls Michaele-you're such a super-hard-working mom! Happy Birthday to you all 3!! Cause I know their BIRTH day is very special for you too!!
Nope, can't hide that under the bed! Were the girls as thrilled as you thought they'd be?
Happy Birthday, Girls, enjoy your wheels!
That's so great, I'm sure they were surprised:@)
Lucky girls!!! Doesn't get any better than that if you are 16!
I didn't realize you had twins - how cool is that now that they are older - my sister has 2 year old twins and she's tired!
Congrats and happy birthday.
Nice car.

What a wonderful gift but I would have gone for that cake! It looks so delicious.
Happy birthday to your girls! A first car is always exciting!!
You rock! I bet they were surprised. :)
And I might have to check out Bomgaars today for a couple more chicks. I saw they had them last week. Thank you for the reminder! :)
You left out a shot of the engine!! I know grandpa is going to want to see that ;). Looks like the girls are really pleased.
Your girls are lucky to have a wonderful mama like you:)
